I talk out loud a lot. If I’m trying to explain something properly, give feedback, reply to someone, or just get a thought out of my head, I usually find it much easier to say it than type it. Now I can do that directly on Skool with VoiceDrop. You can drop a voice message in a post, comment or private chat. It gives conversations a bit more of that personal touch without needing to jump on camera. You can stay completely faceless, skip typing out an essay, and people still get to hear your voice, your tone and how you actually meant something. That can be useful whether you’re just chatting with people on Skool or you run a community and want a more personal way to reply, answer questions or give feedback. Each VoiceDrop can be up to 10 minutes, which is plenty for quick back-and-forth conversations. If you’ve got more to say, just drop another one. I’ve attached one to this post so you can see exactly what it looks like. The full rundown is at VoiceDropHQ.com

Well, this is a pretty ridiculous milestone. Logan Sendle and Blue-Collar Biz Accelerator have officially crossed $1,000,000 in monthly recurring revenue on Skool, making Logan the first person to ever hit seven figures in MRR on the platform. And just to make sure that number actually sinks in, we're not talking about a million-dollar launch, a million dollars in lifetime sales, or one unusually good month. The leaderboard is showing $1,000,380 in MRR. Recurring. Every month. Even more absurdly, the community added another $166,102 in MRR in the last 30 days alone. Regardless of what niche you're in or what size community you're trying to build, I think this is a pretty significant moment for Skool. A few years ago, the idea of building a community on a relatively simple platform and taking it all the way to a $12 million+ annual recurring revenue run rate would have sounded completely insane. Now there's a giant $1,000,380 sitting on the leaderboard proving it can be done. Congrats to Logan Sendle and the team. Someone had to be the first. Now the race starts to see who becomes number two. Now, obviously, I'm not posting this because I think everyone here is going to build a million-dollar-a-month community. That's not the point. The point is that communities have become a legitimate business model in their own right. You can start with a handful of people, solve one specific problem, improve the offer as you go, and build recurring revenue around something you already know how to help people with. Every community starts at zero members. Logan's did too. You don't need the perfect name, 50 lessons recorded, a giant audience or some complicated funnel before you begin. You need a clear person you want to help, a reason for them to join, and somewhere for the first few members to actually gather. If you've been sitting on the idea of starting your own community, this is probably a pretty good reminder to stop waiting for it to feel finished. If you want to build yours properly from the beginning, go through the Classroom here in OCL step by step, in order. It will take you through the process from choosing your idea through to actually getting your community live.

I’m Glenn Summers, and over the past year I’ve spent countless hours helping people get their first Skool communities off the ground. A lot of that has been 1-on-1—long chat messages, private Zoom calls, and walking people step by step through the same questions: How do I choose my niche? What should my transformation offer look like? How do I actually set up and launch my community? And honestly, I loved doing it. There’s nothing better than seeing someone go from being stuck and uncertain to having their own community live and growing. But after a while, I realized I was saying the same things over and over. That’s when it clicked: instead of repeating myself a hundred times, why not record videos, create tools, and build a space where people could learn together? That’s how Online Community Launch was born. This community lets me: Share everything I’ve already been teaching privately, but in a way that reaches more people. Give you step-by-step systems and templates instead of scattered advice. Support not just individuals, but a whole group of people who are building at the same time. Now, instead of keeping my time limited to 1-on-1 chats, I can help dozens—even hundreds—of people move forward together. You’ll still get guidance, clarity, and encouragement, but now in a format that’s structured, repeatable, and scalable. If you’ve been stuck trying to figure out how to start your Skool community, this is the place I wish I had when I first began. -- -- -- 𝘼𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀! - What’s In It For You (and What’s In It For Me)
